Commissions
A piece made for you
Every commission is entirely original
Commissions are created for individuals, galleries, interiors, and collectors around the world, with each project shaped around its setting, purpose, and visual direction.
A personal piece
The process begins with your idea, space, palette, or theme. Some clients arrive with a clear direction, while others begin with a feeling, a room, a collection, or a particular quality they would like the piece to hold.
I work with terracotta clay, illustrating the surface with slips, glazes, and repeated firings. The form, surface, colour, and imagery emerge gradually, allowing the finished piece to carry its own presence, rhythm, and character.
Timelines vary according to size, complexity, drying time, firing, and finishing requirements.
The Process
How commissions work
01
Get in touch
Send an enquiry via the contact form or by email, sharing any ideas or inspiration you have.
02
A conversation
I will be in touch to discuss your ideas, the intended space or purpose for the piece, your preferred palette, and timescales.
03
The making
Once agreed, I will hand-build your piece/s. You will receive updates along the way. Each piece is delivered carefully wrapped and ready to display.
Commissions
What can be commissioned
Ceramic commissions can be created for private homes, gallery settings, interior spaces, and personal collections. They may respond to a room, a palette, a natural theme, a favourite species, or the atmosphere of a particular setting.
The work remains closely connected to Jacki’s wider practice: handbuilt forms, nature-led imagery, terracotta surfaces, careful illustration, and quiet storytelling through clay.
Rather than producing repeated designs, Jacki allows the final form to develop through making, drying, firing, glazing, and finishing. Each piece carries its own character while remaining clearly connected to her ceramic language.
Choosing the Right Piece
Ceramic commissions can vary in scale, surface, and level of detail depending on where the piece will live and how it will be viewed. A work for a quiet domestic space may need a different presence from a piece intended for a gallery, display area, or interior project. During the early discussion, Jacki can help consider proportion, colour, placement, and the overall feeling of the work, so the final piece sits naturally within its setting while still carrying the character of her practice. This helps the finished work feel intentional, balanced, carefully placed, and true to its setting.
